SIGNS AND WONDERS

After serving the Lord as a Southern Baptist pastor for years, Bobby said he knew there had to be more. He told the Lord, “If this is all there is to the ministry, I am through with it.” Bobby was sick of hearing people say that the day of miracles had passed and that Jesus no longer healed and delivered people. The Lord spoke to Bobby and said He wanted to demonstrate his power to believers. He told Bobby to lease a civic building, take out a full page newspaper ad, and run a TV/radio spot about an event that would demonstrate God’s powers to believers. Bobby obeyed and the people came. The building was packed full of people, but they were all judgmental. Bobby said, “Lord if You don’t show up I’m going to look awfully foolish.” Bobby heard the Lord say, “You’re right and don’t you ever forget it.” God’s presence filled the building and Bobby witnessed amazing signs and wonders. Some of the miracles included sight restored to blind eyes and people healed of heart disease.

“We live today in the midst of the greatest manifestation of miracles, signs, and wonders since Pentecost,” shares Bobby. Why? Because the people of the world need to see divine power in action, evidence of the reality of a God who can change their lives forever, proof that there is a light that can lead them out of darkness.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

Bobby says Christians today are having an identity crisis. In order to fulfill their spiritual destiny, believers have to know who they are. But, before Christians can know who they are they must first understand who Christ is, without Him they cannot understand their spiritual identity. Bobby says you can increase your spiritual maturity by immersing yourself in the Word of God, praying for revelation, and asking the Spirit of God to open your eyes to the awesome things from God. In order for the power of God to manifest in your life, Bobby states, “You have to become desperate.” You have to desire His power and presence as much as or more than you desire life itself.” Jesus said, “Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” (Matt. 5:6)

Bobby recalls one evening when he was speaking in a large coliseum he noticed an elderly lady that looked to be in her late 70’s or early 80’s. The Lord said to him, “I have a prophetic word for her that will make her whole life have meaning and purpose.” So, Bobby asked the lady to stand and told her that,” God’s going to give you a word that will make your whole life have meaning and purpose. The Lord told Bobby to look the woman in the face and say to her, ‘Yes, honey, I saw you picking that duck.” Bobby admits he was devastated at first since this word was suppose to make her whole life have meaning and purpose. But, he reluctantly obeyed and gave her the word that God had given him. As soon as he did, the lady fell to the floor weeping and laughing. When she was finally able to stand up, she said, “You don’t understand. When I was a young woman during the war the only job I could find was standing on the dock all day, picking the feathers from a duck breast to use for military clothing.” In desperation one day she cried out to God, “Oh God, do you even know where I am?” Bobby says God remembered her and He knows you too. Bobby says no matter how insignificant you might feel – God can use you.
